Okay, a bit later but I was having problems adding this photo to my blog entry but it has been resolved.
I loved the Tuscan feel to this sim, it had a very serene feel whilst I was there. I could imagine sitting in a cafe on the sim, drinking a latte with my wife without a care in the world. I can even imagine sitting on the beach under a umbrella with a good book too, just that peaceful.

NordShore is inspired by the coastline of Cornwall; where I had a few childhood and young adult holidays down that way. Once again, I'm reliving childhood/adult memories of holidays which I treasure. I don't deny I love beaches, it just feels very therapeutic so I apologize for yet another beach sim while I'm enjoying it fact it's summer and prime beach time mostly.

I loved Black Atoll simply due to the fact it is very calming and has many different little islands to explore. Then I love beach sims with crashing waves as I love water, the sound of hearing waves and the smell of the sea as I feel very drawn to water despite being Earth based element star sign however I do know my moon sign is Scorpio which is Water based element star sign as that may explain my pull to water.

As I said before, I love beaches so I found another beach to explore. This one is a little less well-known compared to some of the beaches within Second Life but that is not a bad thing as sometimes quiet places for me personally are more relaxing.
You may suggest photogenic places though I do enjoy finding new places, I admit I do use the destination guide for ideas to explore as sometimes can be some hidden gems as above!

I will be the first to admit I love beach/seaside sims within Second Life; I find something relaxing and almost therapeutic about the sound of the sea crashing on the coastline but then always find myself happier when in the water. I just loved that I could sit somewhere quietly, enjoy the sounds of the sea as well as admire the lighthouse in distance. I admit for this photo that I did change the windlight or EEP but I wanted the light from the lighthouse to stand out slightly more.

Baja Coast 2; I will admit I did change the Windlight/EEP for this photo. The Baja sim was one very first picturesque sims I found in Second Life as result was one of my first faves. I was sad when the owner had to cut back on sim however pleased to see she opened a few more again since, so hope it continues to successful for her.
